Syracuse University quarterback Ryan Nassib took a bump near the end of the game but is fine

Syracuse, NY -- Ryan Nassib, the starting quarterback for the Syracuse University football team, suffered a minor bump on his knee at the end of his long run down the sideline just before the end of the SU-Akron game on Saturday.

Nassib was pushed out of bounds as he stretched for the end zone and grabbed his knee after rolling to the ground. As the players walked off the field after the game Nassib was caught on TV walking and talking team Dr. Irving Raphael.

The two images made several SU fans suspicious that Nassib was injured. I checked with the folks at SU before today's weekly media conference with head coach Doug Marrone and was told Nassib is fine. There is no structural damage to the knee and not even any swelling today. I was also told that everybody else on the team is fine, too. Marrone mentioned to me afterward that he hopes to have cornerback Kevyn Scott available for Saturday's game at Washington, too.
